The initiative underscores Odo's commitment to strengthening the local economy and creating a more robust agricultural sector for the residents of Igbo Etiti LGA.
The appointed Senior Special Assistants will each take charge of different sectors of agriculture, with the aim of increasing productivity in their respective areas. One of the appointees, Ezeugwu Frederick [/b]Ogbonna, will oversee yam and pepper production, while Nwodo Everestus Ugonna will be responsible for garden egg and pepper cultivation. Both will work to improve these crops' yields, promote better farming practices, and encourage farmers to embrace sustainable and effective agricultural methods.

This move is part of Eric Odo’s [/b]larger plan to address the agricultural challenges within Igbo Etiti LGA, emphasizing the importance of developing and maintaining a strong local agricultural framework. By concentrating on specific crops like yam, garden egg, and pepper, the initiative is expected to help increase local food production, improve market access, and create more economic opportunities for farmers and businesses within the region.
